A New Game.

Just as the hour for winding up the
days transactions in the Chicago Stock
Board was sounding from Trinity tower,
a Well-dressed man emerged from an
"exchange" IN lower Broadway and
started to cross the sidewalk. He was
old and rheumatic. A heavy cane in
his right hand helped to steady his fee
BILE. steps. He had reached the middle
OF the walk when q man making his
way rapidly up town ran against him
violently. The rheumatic legs quivered,
the cane and left arm waved wildly in
the air, and the unfortunate man would
surely have fallen had not another man,
blue-nOsed, seedy, looking specimen,
started forward and seized him. The
effort was successful, and the rheumatic
gentleman gladly accepted the profTer
of further assistance sin crossing the
slippery street. When he was safely on
the other side and in the doorway of
the restaurant to which he was bound,
he turned to his assistant and said:
"You have done me a considerable
favor, my man and | thank you. 1t
would have been dangerous fall"
"I'm sure you're very welcome, sir, :"

The we'll dressed man was fumbling
in his pockets.
You look coId," he said "and hun
CRY, arn't.you2"
Yes sir, eagerly, ''and hahn got
no place to sleep nor no money to get
me anything"
"Well, here, get yourself something
to eat, and drink, too, and the rheuma-
tic man slipped a piece of silver into
the outstretched hand and disappeared.
The recipient bowed and scraped. and
turning, walked slowly up the street.
He had not gone far when he met the
one who had caused the collision com
ing down. He had OF over his hurry,
and greeted the blue-nosed hero with
the laconic: did you WORK hIm2"
Fifty cents, " was the response.
The collidcr took tire coin, applied
his teeth, and added "It's good, but

that game very often. It's clev, but

SUICIDE OF A MONKEY.
Cutting His Throat AFTER Shaving Himse


A man related his experience with an
African monkey while the narrator was
serving in an official capacity on one of
the Aspinwall steamers as follows:
''Never before in my life dill l ever
realize the remarkable propensity and
talent displayed by a monkey in imitat-
ing the every motion or act of a human
being, until about twenty years ago. We
had on our ship n monkey that had been
brought up 'On board. lie was a nuis-
ance and was so considered by everyone
except the Captain, with whom ho was
= favorte. The men and the passengers
could do nothing but what the monkey
would initiate. One afternoon a number
of our men made up their minds that
they would kill it. How to do it unbe-
known to the Captain was a 'sticker.'
Finally | told the boys that if they
would keep mum I would fix him.
They so promised. One Sunday l got
the monkey in my room and proceeded
to prepare himself for a shave. | called
the BOYS in and they laughed and talked
together while went through the pre-.
ilinarics preparatory to shave. The
monkey seemed happy, and with the
boys was having heaps of fun watching
my movements. After l had finished
my shaving | drew the back of the razor
blade across my throat and left it, with
my other tonsorial equipments, upon
the stand. Very soon the monkey
jumped up on the stand, lathered his
face, took up the razor as I had done,
and commenced to shave. The work
was clpanly done. After Washing his
chops as he had seen me do, he drew
the sharp edge of the razor across his
throat, cutting it from ear TO ear. Tho
work had been successfully accomplished,
aud with feeling of regret we carried
the lifeless body of our poor monkey to
the deck and threw him overheard
The captain missed his favOlite lie
readily accepted the theory that Mr..
Monkey had in moment Of despair,
cut its Throat "

MOTHER KNO US.

Nobody knows Of the work it makes
To keep the homo together;

Nobody knows-but mother.

Which kisses only smother;
Nobody's panied by naughty blows
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows Of the sloepless care
Bestowed on baby brother:
Nobody knows Of the tender pray'r,
NobOdy--ouly mother.
Nobody knows Of the lessons taught
OF loving one anctheri
Nobody knows Of the patience sought,
Nobody--only mother.
Nobody knows Of the anxious fears
Lest darlings may not weather
The storm Of life in after years,

Nobody kneels at the throne above
To thank the Heavenly Father,
For that sweetest gift-a mothers love;
Nobody can--but mother.

hone against Senator Rddleberger, on a bond
OF $780, given Malone by Riddleberger. Ma

ger testified that every statement made by
Malone was untrue. lie said he had no con-
versation with Malone in 1891 that he had no
connection with him; that he did not see him
and that Malone was not in Woodstock in
1881. The senator said he received money
from Malone in 1879, when Malone was elect
ca 70 the United States senate. Ho spoke of
